He wouldn't be a bad backup if Flynn was our starter and nobody had ever even heard of Russell Wilson. But since Russell IS our starter, Hass would be a HORRIBLE backup. Hass doesn't even remotely have Russell's skill set. He didn't even have Russell's skill set in his prime (and I LOVE me some Matt Hasselbeck).

No... one day contract, teary emo press conference, immediate induction into the ring of honor. That's the only way Matt comes back. It is now the future, we don't even look the same as when Matt was here. No point in going backwards.

I'd rather not be the guinea pig for a guy who hasn't coached before, but I'd love to him to come back and work as a broadcast guy. But, he will probably have an offer with a national network not long after retirement

Why? So he can teach our QBs how to have that Spazzelbeck moment 4 times a game?

Interesting memory you have...

GREEDY PUNK PAUL ALLEN, THIS LOSS IS ON YOU."I don't give a crap WHAT you gotta pay, Kam is worth it and I don't want to lose a shot at another SB cuz you - a freaking BILLIONAIRE, are cheapskating Kam over a freaking $900,000.You cheapskate." SalishHawkFan SEP 13, 2015 1:47 PM

Not surprising. I think most people around here (likely Matt himself) saw his 3 year deal as a 2 year deal to get Locker some time and experience.

Honestly, I think he could continue to play if he wanted to, but I would rather just see him retire. He's still one of my favorites and still the only person to quarterback our team to the superbowl, and I just don't feel right watching him in another uniform.

Why would Jacksonville? They have Henne there, and he can push/start over your boy Gabbert. So, Matthew would be overkill.

Arizona could get itself to 6-8 win land with Hass, IMO. He did VERY well utilizing Britt and Wright's talents down there, even if it was a simple "okay, you got 1-on-1, you're getting a deep ball". He'd do very well in AZ, IMO.

I was just making a lazy link to Bradley.If Arizona doesn't improve their offensive line, nobody is even going to start 8 games down there, let alone win 8. Otherwise, they have the receivers he could use. Running game is shit, though.

I could see the Raiders too. They have a throw away get out of cap hell season coming up, might as well dump Palmer while they are at it.

You heard it here first.

if Matt goes into broadcasting, it's going to be on a big time national NFL station like Fox, CBS, ESPN, NFL Network, etc. He's not gonna be content with making 200k on a local sports station.......even in Seattle.

Besides, I betcha he plays one more year.

Agreed. He has a bright future on NFL network or ESPN on TV somewhere like his homeboy Dilf should he be interested. Though I could very easily see him being a regularly ocurring guest spot on the Brock & Misc. show much like Tim Hass or John Clayton are.

Hass deserves an opportunity with the hawks organization in some capacity, as a QB coach or assistant or QB scout ect. Don't forget that he is the only Hawk QB to take us to a superbowl. If he would have had a more talented oline and not had to run for his life so much, maybe you all would give him the props he deserves. I agree his time on the field is over, but the dude has the football smarts. Now I love RW dont get me wrong, and I am only saying that Hass should be with the Hawks in some capacity to help benefit this team instead of doing work for a network in the booth. And for God sakes, I can't fathom him going to a team in our division, please no.
